Stakelogic's latest igaming launch is JokerDrop featuring the exclusively licensed PopWins mechanic.
Joker Drop comes after Stakelogic entered into a licensing agreement with AvatarUX that will see the supplier enjoy exclusive rights to the popular PopWins mechanic for a period of six months.
The company said the new launch combines the sights and sounds of a classic slot with the cutting-edge PopWins mechanic and free spins.
The games starts on a five reels, four rows matrix. Stakelogic said that while it looks like a conventional retro slot, once players land a win "things start to get really interesting." The PopWins mechanic kicks in and the reels will expand as a free respin is awarded. They continue expanding to reach seven symbols in height each - bigger reels mean more ways to win, with 16,807 pay ways possible.
Should the maximum five reels with seven rows reel matrix be achieved, players will also unlock the Gamble Drop feature, where they will be awarded an initial number of free spins that they can either accept or gamble for the chance to win even more. When they are happy with their total, the free spins will begin, with a progressive multiplier applied that increases by +1 for every consecutive win.
If players opt to place an additional wager and activate the Super Stake feature, extra scatter symbols will be available during free spins. Landing three of these will add a further three games to the players’ current total, and although these cannot be gambled, more retriggers are possible. Players can also opt to buy into the feature directly with five free spins using the Buy A Bonus option.
As a final incentive, players will also be able to fill special coin and diamond meters by landing random symbols that feature these two icons. With five symbols required to fill each meter, the coin meter will add random, instant-win cash prizes to the reels, while the diamond meter will place wild symbols across the central reels to help players complete more pay way wins.
Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic, said: “We pride ourselves in offering our players and operator partners cutting-edge products and innovative features such as Super Stake and with the PopWins mechanic, we can further enhance our offering. With the power of our state-of-the-art slots combined with a great mechanic like PopWins, Joker Drop™ is destined to be chart topper.”
Marcus Honney, managing director at AvatarUX, said: “Our PopWins collection has been a great success for us and the games are performing extremely well with players, so we are thrilled to give the trademark rights to Stakelogic. We are certain Stakelogic’s titles featuring the mechanic will be huge hits with operators and players alike.”
